Lost Love

Chapter 49

*2 days after Fashion Week finished*

"I'm so tired still" I complain in the morning. I felt his body shake when he laughed next to me.
"Sorry. I couldn't wait for another day though" he said and kissed my neck, his arm still wrapped around me. "You drive me crazy" he said against my neck. I smiled.
"Well you made me tired" I said, trying not to giggle. "It's okay though. I forgive you" I say and roll over to kiss his lips.
We broke apart when the doorbell rang. We both groaned and got out of bed. I checked the time.
"Oh, that'll be the guys. We're doing Kenzie's room today" I said. He looked at the clock and sighed.
"I'm going to get dressed. I'd like it if you did the same" he said, looking me up and down. I looked down and saw I was still naked. I blushed and put on clean underwear and a bra, and threw on sweats and a top, much to Fletcher's disappointment, and pushed him into his room while I went to the door.
"Hey, you woke me up" I say and let them in.
"Sorry. Isn't Fletcher awake?" Dylan asked.
"Oh, I dunno" I shrugged casually. "He got boxes the other day. They're outside her room" I tell them.
"Let's do this then" Jay said determined. We all sighed and went to her room. We stood outside it for a moment, and Fletcher came out.
"Hey guys" he said. They all said hi, and we went back to staring at the door in silence.
"Screw it" Dylan muttered and pushed the door open. He took one step inside and froze. I knew he was about to cry. I stepped in, ignoring the feelings I got, and held him as he stood there, numbed. He let out a few tears and the others came in.
"This feels weird... Like, we're trespassing" Tom commented. We all stood in the middle of her room, looking around. Too afraid to touch anything.
The others were clearly pained by all this, and my defence walls went up. I didn't show any emotion. I had to be neutral to this. Had to be strong for the other's sake. And mine.
"Come on. We can do this. Don't think of the bad stuff, just focus on the good" I announce. I walk to her desk that sat beneath a window, and reached out to pick up her notebook; her diary. My had was shaking as I reached out, but I made sure my body was blocking their view as they watched me closely. I cleared my throat and picked it up. "See? Come on, guys. She's probably laughing at us right now" I say, trying to lighten the mood. They chuckle, agreeing.
Dylan was the first of them to move. He sat on her bed and held a hand out, daring to open her computer.
"She always went skitzo at me for touching this thing..." he chuckled, remembering. "I always wondered what was on it" he added.
"Have a look. It's not like she can stop you now" Jay says. "Not in a mean way. Wow, that sounded so jerk-ish" he said, frowning.
"It's all good man. I know what you're saying" Dylan says. He reached out and opened the laptop up and pressed the on button.
"Hey! I've been looking for this!" Gracie says, picking up her old yellow jumper from a chair. "I knew she had it!" she says, amused.
"Whoa! Guys, look at this! She wrote about us" Dylan says, looking at the computer. We all sat around him on the bed as he scrolled through a folder, full of documents. They all were titled 'Chapter ...', but at the end of the chapter number, it had a name. One of our names, changing for each chapter. "Wow... So this is why she didn't want us to see it" he muttered, a grin on his face. "Which one should we read first?" he asked, sitting back. We all looked to him.
"Are you insane?! What if there's bad stuff?" Gracie asks, shocked.
"Gracie, babe, Kenz didn't have a mean bone in her body" Tom said. "She apologised to a teenager who spilt their coffee on her!" he added, and we laughed, remembering.
"I say we all read our own chapters. No one else reads ours, deal?" I pipe up.
"So we take in turns at reading them, then? With the computer?" Fletcher asked, looking straight at me. I looked away before I blushed.
"We print them. Her computer's connected to the printer out in the kitchen. We print all, but only take our own chapters" I explain, looking around at them all.
"Yeah, that's a good idea" Jay nodded.
"Alright, how do I print then?" Dylan asked. I laughed and reached over to do it for him.
